What is SBM? An exclusive 10-month executive business management program for established business owners in which YOUR business is the textbook.

The bi-weekly 90-minute classroom sessions are taught by subject matter experts and cover topics critical to every small business including: Leadership & Management, Financial Analysis, Sales & Marketing, Customer Service, HR, Legal, Insurance, Technology and much more.

Completing SBM will improve your ability to:

You’ll learn in three ways:

• Classroom time - hear from experts in a variety of disciplines.
• 1:1 coaching sessions with a business advisor who will help you take what you learn in the classroom and apply it now to your business.
• From your peers. SBM participants are more than students, they become a team with the shared goal of business success.

The class meets every other Wednesday afternoon starting September 25 (3:30-5pm).
